A delegation from Okinawa, Japan came to Taiwan to ask the Taiwan Industrial Textile Association for advice on pineapple fiber textile technology. The chairman of the association, Luo Zhongyou, said that recycling the originally useless pineapple leaves is a new business model vigorously promoted by the government, "circular economy." Both Taiwan and Japan have a common philosophy. We look forward to the cooperation to lay the foundation for this cooperation. If pineapple fiber can be mass-produced in Taiwan effectively, it will help Taiwan to occupy the world's circular economy industrial chain and be included in the "miracle forest" of Okinawa, Japan The United Nations World Natural Heritage activities show the world to Taiwan.
Okinawa Prefecture, Japan is one of the four longevity regions in the world. UNESCO will also register the "Miracle Forest" as a World Natural Heritage in July this year. The Miracle Forest is located in "Oki Village" and "East Village" of Okinawa Prefecture.

In particular, the East Village is rich in pineapples and accounts for 80% of Japan's output. The locals hope that they can develop sustainably. Utilize, spin into yarn and weave to make value-added products such as bags, hats and clothes.
Okinawa finds Taiwan's textile supply chain, because Taiwan has the world's only one-stop manufacturing service for pineapple fibers from yarn to cloth, and from Taiwan Agricultural Development Corporation established by the Agricultural Committee for technical integration and market research, Taiwan Tongzheng Industrial Development Wool spinning technology turns pineapple fibers into yarns, Shinko weaving into cloth, and Yingji Company uses pineapple cloth to make finished products such as shoes or bags. The supply chain is quite complete.
Gongguang Miyagi, the head of Japan ’s largest longevity village, Takimi Village, who led a delegation to Taiwan recently, pointed out that the exchanges between Taiwan and Japan were very close. Okinawa had previously come to Taiwan to exchange views on tourism, children, grass carp breeding and other projects. This time, the development of pineapple fibers has been successful. I hope Pineapple East Village The village chief Dangshan Quanshen pointed out that the local pineapple workers are aging. If Taiwan can provide technology to effectively use pineapple leaves, help them make money, and further mechanize pineapple cultivation, they will be very grateful.
